Got my bottle of this stuff today. Here's the report.
I used my son's Strat as the test guitar. He just went from 9's to 10's so there was some binding at the nut. It is also the cheap platic nut that came on it. (2000 MIM).
I loosened the strings and placed a little on every metal to metal contact point. Screws where the claw rests, Spring loops that attach to claw, point of spring that goes into the block, saddles, knife edge, the tee on the E and B string and the nut slots.
This stuff is ultra slippery. I retuned, let the guitar sit a bit retuned and hit the wammy every which way. It came very close to being in tune. (A little sharp).
I retuned and tested it at the nut by pressing down on each string between the nut and tuning keys. It was VERY good here. Within 1 or 2 cent of being in tune. Again a little sharpe. I did not resize the nut slots when the 10's went in so I think this stuff is very good.
It comes in a small bottle with both a brush and plastic nib for application. It's very thick and stays put. It is a light grey color so it does not show up on the white nut.
Give it a try.
